Case Report: High pull headgear orthopedic effects on vertical maxillary excess and mandibular autorotation; report of three cases

A cephalometric comparison of high mandibular plane angle cases treated with cervical vs. high-pull headgear

Orthopedic cervical headgear in class II treatment: case report.

Early treatment for Class II malocclusion was undertaken with the objective of correcting skeletal disproportion by altering the growth pattern. A case of Class II, Division 1 malocclusion in the mixed dentition was corrected to Class I molar relationship using orthopedic cervical headgear, with nonextraction edgewise therapy. Cephalometric analysis indicated a reduction in the maxillomandibula...

Mandibular Second Premolar with Three Roots: A Case Report

Human mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having an extremely complex root and root canal morphology. The incidence of multiple roots and canals in mandibular second premolars is lower than those in mandibular first premolars. Mandibular second premolars with three root canals and separate foramina are very rare. In this case report, endodontic management of a three-rooted mandi...

Mandibular cervical headgear vs rapid maxillary expander and facemask for orthopedic treatment of Class III malocclusion.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of the rapid maxillary expander and facemask (RME/ FM) and mandibular cervical headgear (MCH) protocols when followed by fixed appliances and evaluated at a postpubertal observation in patients with dentoskeletal Class III malocclusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample treated with the RME/FM followed by fixed appliances included 32 patients (12 boys and...

Three Rooted Primary Mandibular Molar – A Report of Three Cases

The dental literature contains a small number of reports of primary multirooted anomalies and even fewer reports on the clinical significance of these findings. Specifically, there are fewer reports of primary radicular anomalies than of permanent radicular anomalies. Knowledge of the size, morphology and variation of the roots and root canals of a primary tooth is useful in performing endodont...

Mandibular First Molar with Five Canals: A Report of Three Cases

The main objective of endodontic therapy is the thorough mechanical and chemical cleansing of the entire root canal system and its complete obturation with an inert filling material. Failure to find and fill a canal contributes toward the failure of endodontic therapy .The root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars is complex. Studies of the morphologic structure of root canal systems hav...
